ATLANTA — Warriors rookie forward Jordan Bell will go to the G-League for Santa Cruz’s game on Sunday against the Memphis Hustle.

Although Warriors coach Steve Kerr has praised Bell for his conditioning after missing 14 games with inflammation in his left ankle, Kerr observed that Bell is still shedding some rest. Bell has posted a combined five points, six rebounds and five assists in 28 minutes during the Warriors’ undefeated three-game trip this week in New York, Washington and Atlanta.

Golden State will not play until Tuesday against Brooklyn in Oakland, giving Bell flexibility to play on Sunday and then return for the Warriors’ practice on Monday. The Warriors will take Saturday and Sunday off.

The Warriors will also send guard Quinn Cook down to Santa Cruz for Sunday’s game against Memphis. He is expected to return to the Warriors, with second-year guard Patrick McCaw sidelined for at least two more weeks with a left wrist injury.
